I tried to load an old Micro/XE but kept having
problems. I got the new tapes from HP this Winter,
and mounted them on my HP7974.
I got the tape to BOT, (even though self-test on
power up ended on F.50)
I turned on the Micro/XE and I get the following,
note the various gyrations that I tried. Any ideas?
